The efficacy of acoustic indices for monitoring abundance and diversity in soil soundscapes

is a rapidly emerging field heralded as a non-invasive method for monitoring soil fauna. Ecoacoustic analysis commonly uses acoustic indices to analyse soundscapes, linking them to ‘traditional ’ biodiversity value metrics such as species richness and abundance
